Sometimes, though, those strange tips and tricks are actually pretty good ones because they give you the results you want. How to tell which ones are good and which ones aren’t?

1. Put Diaper Rash Cream on Pimples

Diaper rash cream is formulated to take away irritation and calm redness, so it goes to follow that it will work on zits. All you have to do is dab a tiny dot of diaper rash cream on the problem area and watch it do its work. This trick is so effective that you might even see the results right before your very eyes.

2. Wash Your Face with Dandruff Shampoo

Dandruff shampoo doesn’t know the difference between the skin on your scalp and the skin on the rest of your body. Experts say that if you have really dry, flaky skin, you can use dandruff shampoo in place of your regular cleanser a couple of times each month to help alleviate the problem.

3. Wear Vaseline under Your Perfume to Make It Last All Day

OK, this isn’t really skincare, but it has to do with your skin so I’m including it. Perfume tends to fade as the day goes by, but you want it last until you hit the sack at night. Smear a small bit of Vaseline on your pulse points before spritzing on your scent and you can get just that. Perfume needs something to adhere to and it will only cling to skin for a certain amount of time. Spraying it on Vaseline gives it something stronger to hold on to.

4. Hemorrhoid Cream is like Magic for Puffy Eyes

You don’t have to tell anyone you do this, but it really works! Hemorrhoid cream is formulated to combat inflammation so it makes sense that it can quell the bags under your eyes. Gently dab a bit of the cream into the puffy area, being careful not to get it into your eyes. Easy, enough, right?

5. Stave off Itching with Toothpaste

Is your skin covered in itchy bug bites? It happens, but you don’t have to suffer. Smear a small dab of toothpaste on the bite and the itch should disappear. You want the regular type of toothpaste, not all the fancy ones on the market today. Try it – you might find out it’s the best secret you’ve ever learned!

6. Tighten the Skin on Your Face with Pepto Bismol

This medicine is for stomach issues, but experts say it makes a fantastic facial mask. The ingredients in the med help tighten and tone the skin on your face, making it look younger and fresher. Simply smear it all over, let it dry, and then rinse well with warm water.

7. Skip the Expensive Facial Cloths and Use Baby Wipes Instead

They are virtually the same thing, so there’s no reason to spend the money on facial wipes when you can just grab a baby wipe instead. They are way cheaper and do the same job. Most are created for sensitive baby skin so you don’t have to worry about them drying out your face.

This is really helpful , thanks

I have asked a gyno about it and she said it won't hurt me, and I'm not stupid I know the vagina is self cleaning. Lime are 100 % natural and people have been using them for a very long time for deodorant. And it's funny but I just read that wearing a pad or pantiliners when your not on your period isn't good because you're holding all the bacteria/smell very close to you and not letting it breath. Sounds like your sucked in by everything the medical profession deems ok then they find out 10 years later that they were wrong wrong obout this and that. I on the other hand choose to think for myself, and in the process have saved a ton of money and have a lovely smelling vagina. So I'll stay with my decision thank you very much Dr. Know-it-all.

I have used baby wipes as a makeup remover for years and it works. I have sensitive skin and have never experienced any kind of reaction at all.

That's exactly my point. I'm not a doctor and I never claimed to be. But I do work with a bunch and medical science is my passion. It's what I read in my spare time and what I do on weekends, researching, going to conferences, etc. I live in Canada where the medical field is MUCH stricter than the states. Honestly if a gyno told a patient that the nurse would just about immediately tell the board and the gyno would have to go back to school, because that's literally the most key information to any medical profession, the pH balance needs to stay where it is supposed to be or the body can't do what it's supposed to. Again like I said, nobody but your gyno is saying it's safe and when your burns finally hit the surface or you get cancer you will really regret it. And nobody in the past 50 years has recommended citrus juice if they've gone to medical school of any kind. If you went to a dermatologist, they'd face palm themselves so much. All I'm trying to get you to understand is this is literally hurting you from the inside, and can cause cancer, but you are going to recommend it to your friends despite medical facts, research and studies saying it's dangerous, because what, you don't care if they get cancer? I don't care what you do to yourself, but PLEASE don't get others into it. If they have cancer in their genetics then this can really speed it up, vaginal cancer, skin cancer, bone cancer etc, or it can even spread something that is already there in the blood stream. It's not okay, and if I were your friends id be pissed. I hope you tell them all this, because it's important to know. You are continuing despite it being carcinogenic and dangerous, but that's fine. Your choice. But don't choose for other people what their next medical battle is going to be.

And again I and plenty of women I know have been doing it for years, and yeah nope no burns either. I just got a exam not to long ago and my gyno said it's totally healthy down there.

Many people are familiar with hair dandruff, but not everyone has heard of face dandruff. Seborrheic dermatitis, face dandruff, is a common skin condition which presents in the form of patches of flaky and dry skin on the face, causing inflammation, redness and irritation. Face dandruff is caused by skin that is too oily, as well as stress, not washing your face enough and an overgrowth of a yeast like fungus known as malassezia. Home remedies for face dandruff consist of shampooing daily with a medicated shampoo and applying nonprescription topical creams in order to keep face dandruff under control. So, yes using an anti dandruff shampoo as crazy as it sounds, as much as ya don't want to believe might work. Keep an open mind!

I'm not choosing anything for anyone, people choose to do what they want. I think it's hilarious that you're making such a big deal out of lime juice when the majority of people put all kinds of funky stuff on their bodies! Just look at the ingredients in most commercial shampoos, condioners, deodorants, makeup, perfumes, hair styling aids, sunscreen, manicures, pedicures, tattoos, weird piercings, plastic surgery, tanning, bleach, I honestly don't know where to stop. All these things are a health hazard in one way or another but I don't see people stopping anytime soon. Really do a little research into the ingredients of these products. Women can choose to listen to me or not, I really don't care..........

😧 I wouldn't even wash my HAIR with anti dandruff shampoo (ugh) let alone my FACE. I have extremely sensitive skin that reacts to anything and everything so I stick to the stuff that works for me.

Genuois!

Be careful about using hemorrhoid cream for puffy eyes! Make sure no cortisone in it! Cortisone could damage your eyelids permanently!!
